Watson, best known for her roles as daring witch Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series of films and dramatic roles like Perks Of Being A Wallflower, also demonstrates a natural ability to sing, holding her own in such songs as "Belle" and "Something There."

Damien Chazelle and Barry Jenkins On That #Oscars Moment
For two relatively new Hollywood directors, the 2017 Oscars couldn't have been any more of a nail biter. It took directors Damien Chazelle - a director who saw two out of three of his movies make it all the way to the Oscars - and Barry Jenkins, who has only two films under his belt, one of them being the critical darling and eventual Best Picture Oscar winner Moonlight - until the morning after the Oscars to process that incredible ending.
